Earth Overshoot Day



August 20, 2013

"In less than nine months, we have now used more natural resources than what it takes the planet 12 months to produce. For the remainder of 2013, we will be living on resources borrowed from future generations.

This year Earth Overshoot Day—the approximate date human resource demands exceed nature’s budget—fell on August 20. Two days earlier than last year. In fact, since 2001, Overshoot Day has moved ahead by an average of 3 days per year."

We have a choice, each and every day, in what we purchase, what we eat, do, how we behave and what we are willing to talk about and the action we take.
